   Great service. Food was excellent. The place was in a great location with plenty of parking on the green.

   We love The Fleece and lunch here is always a joy. We ordered the Wild Venison Loin and a vegan cottage pie. The Venison was gray and over cooked so we sent it back and it was replaced by a moist and succulent loin but it was 15 minutes apart so we ate seperately which was hugely disappointing. Our South African waitress was outstanding but she went off shift which left us searching for someone to pay the bill. We'd gone with the intention of using our £25 off 2025 voucher but we'd waited so long and eaten seperately that we skipped pudding which meant that we didn't qualify for the voucher which was disappointing. We love The Fleece but the past couple of times it's missed the mark....

   It was nice to enjoy an evening meal on a quiet weekday. The menu and specials offered a variety of interesting choices and there was a good selection of wines to choose from. Service was prompt and friendly. The quality and presentation of the food were very good.

   It was my husband's birthday lunch with his grandchildren so I booked The Fleece to enjoy a lovely Saturday lunch for 4 adults and 2 children. We ordered a selection of starters which were very good but then things went downhill. We ordered two Braised Beef mains which looked like they'd been re-heated from a roast beef joint and covered in gravy. The meat was gray and tough to chew which was not acceptable when these two dishes alone were £45. We were not asked how the food was and didn't want to make a fuss because it was a birthday party. The children had burgers which were served with chips and, according the menu came with veggies, but actually came with cucumber batons which was a little strange. The pie and the sea bream were delicious so no complaints there. I bought along a birthday cake and candles which were organised and brought across to our table but the service in general was okay.

   A very cosy environment and a busy atmosphere gave the Fleece a really nice buzz. There was some big tables in enjoying Xmas work meals and so we were advised that service may be a little slower but in fact everything went very smoothly. The staff were all very friendly and professional despite being busy All the food was delicious, the service excellent and the choice of 0% beer very good! Portions were decent, there were some nice ‘gastro’ touches like the crisp chicken skin accompanying the Chicken Schnitzel and the truffle mayo. And the Tiramisu was stunning! All in all, great food, friendly service and a cosy venue

    This was an excellent Sunday lunch of roast beef and trimmings. Service was very good despite being very busy- we enjoyed sitting in the bar area as well.
